Perranporth
Zest with decking

  • Quiet site with excellent views and good local walks
  • Pub/restaurant, village shop and play park within walking distance
  • A mile and a half from Perranporth beach
This peaceful Perranporth site is in properly prime position: it's set in spectacular Cornish countryside with first-rate views, and has easy access to Newquay and Truro as well as Perranporth. The nearest beach is a mere mile and a half away (walkable in about 30 minutes), and there's a pub/restaurant, garden centre and shop in Goonhavern, half a mile away along a lovely leafy bridleway (there's also a play park and football field up here for kids who need a bit of a run about). Reen Cross Campsite is a family-friendly park, welcoming families and couples only (and dogs, as long as they're well-behaved types and are kept on leads at all times while on site, ta). Pitches are large and well spaced out, on a flat camping field of around three acres, so there's plenty of room for the kids – and grownups – to play. Among the amenities are chemical disposal and facilities for ice pack freezing; new shower, toilet and laundry/washing-up facilities were added in 2017. Barbecues are allowed if raised off the ground.

Liked: This place has everything to offer and I would highly recommend it. If you are looking for a quite and peaceful place with spectacular views, close to a beautiful trail that leads you to the nearest beach, this is the place for you. Craig and Nyrene are an amazing team who work really hard to maintain this place. They gave us a warm welcome and guided us to the best places nearby which made this experience incredible for us. We are definitely coming back and would highly recommend this place.

Richmond 2 bedroom mobile home

Liked: Well spaced out site. Nice and quiet. Excellent for children with central play area. Caravan was well equipped.

Disliked: No dislikes really, only a bit chilly in the caravan during the night - could have done with some central heating although was a gas fire in lounge area.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Glad you enjoyed your stay and children had fun in the play area. Except for the Richmond all our static caravans have central heating and double glazing. Hope to see you again on your next visit to Cornwall.

Local attractions

The beaches at Perranporth are less than two miles from Reen Cross Campsite and, along with Newquay, are top foamy spots for north Cornwall surfing and kitesurfing. Drop into the tourist office to get discount vouchers for the local surf schools if you'd like to learn how to board. Perranporth is also home to the gigs and pints of The Watering Hole, the only UK pub to be set right on the sands, and like all the seaside towns around Cornwall has easy access to the South West Coast Path, the spectacular 630-mile trail running from Minehead in Somerset along the Cornwall and Devon coasts down to Poole Harbour in Dorset. From Perranporth, hike to Newquay in one direction or to St Agnes or Portreath in the other; all places have provisions for pitstops for traversing further should you and your feet wish. Highly viewsome teeing off at Perranporth Golf Club is about a mile away; horse riding stables within the same distance, and a play park and football field are close to the site. Within easy driving distance are days out at Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm, Newquay's Holywell Bay Fun Park, the Lappa Valley Steam Railway, and DairyLand Farmworld, the award-winning attraction near Newquay.
